[1] St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School, one of the oldest school communities in Brampton, originally occupied a new building at 115 Glenvale Boulevard (built in the Bramalea G-section in 1975), opening for classes in September 1976 with an enrolment of 500 students and offering Grades 7-10 (by 1982 Grades 9-13 were offered).
The school changed locations to its current building at 25 Corporation Dr. near Torbram in 1992, due to increasing student enrolment.
In 2024, the Ontario Labour Relations Board ruled against a teacher who had refused to resume teaching at St. Thomas Aquinas following a physical altercation with a student.
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School includes a chapel, and the chaplain is Olivia Novak.
St. Thomas Aquinas is home to a variety of team-associated sports, including: Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Rugby, Soccer, Badminton, and Track and field.
